Behringer Kobol Expander Classic Patches Sound Demo. No Talk


video upload by Anton Anru

"Analog Classics is a collection of 50 presets for the semi-modular synth Behringer Kobol Expander: 15 Leads, 15 Basses, 15 Plucks, 5 Chords.
It includes famous sounds that are found in many electronic tracks, from vintage to modern, musical solo timbres; basses that will fit into any track or performance.
Additionally, there are some experimental patches that will add uniqueness to your music, featuring the characteristic sound introduced by the Behringer Kobol Expander.
Plucks are excellent for use with arpeggiators or sequencers. In most examples of this category, I utilize an arpeggiator. Kobol Expander doesn’t have a built in arp/seq, but you may integrate your preferred arpeggiators or sequencers from your DAW or MIDI controller.
Chords are patches that involve intervals between the oscillators, such as major/minor thirds and others, creating the illusion of a chord.

The presets are suitable for a variety of genres, including: ambient, electronica, IDM, deep, techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, funk, jazz, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, jungle, drum and bass, dub and others.

The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synth and discover its true depth.

To recreate these patches, you will need up to 5 patch cords.
There are audio examples of all patches inside the folder with the soundset.

Vintage Crumar Orchestrator SN 00076

"Rare Crumar Orchestrator-2, a vintage Italian synthesizer. This analog synth is in working order but definitely needs to be serviced. There are obvious things like sliders being broken off, but it turns on and makes noise and the effects work. This was supposed to be a project and never got finished, so now it can be someone else's who will finally finish the job. If you are willing and excited to get your hands dirty (or just want to get some vintage gear affordably and pay someone to do it) then this is for you."

"Just a quick demo of my Maxikorg synth that I'm offering on EBAY."

Pics of the inside below. Also some scans of the manual.

"As for functionality, I have tested all of the knobs and sliders and everything seems to work with the following exceptions;

1. When the the Lower Voice wave shape knob is set to pulse wave and the Lower Voice "foot" control is in the 8' position, there is no sound from that oscillator. (The other oscillator on the lower voice still works).

2. The 3 position switch that controls the Upper Voice Vibrato is always on no matter what position the switch is in but the Vibrato sliders (Speed and Depth) still function normally.

Please note that you may find something else that is not quite right going on with this synth but considering it's age, I would say that over all it is functioning pretty well.

The synth has never been recapped and being almost 50 years old it is probably due for a complete capacitor change. This will undoubtedly fix the minor problems it currently has."
